Waterloo cycling

Waterloo railway station is the busiest in London; the South West Trains - Network Rail alliance is increasing its capacity.  How will everybody get around?

Four platforms are being lengthened and the redundant Eurostar section being refurbished to provide additional platforms.  A succinct animation gives details.  Clearly there will be a significant rise in traffic; cycles could clog up pedestrian thoroughfares.

Boris bikes are available outside the station, but imagine being able to pick one up on your platform and cycle off into purpose built cycleways.  That's my vision in Serpent Dove, a futuristic realistic novel.
